Songtext von Long Long Way

Well we've come a long long way, Look at everything we know We're getting smarter everyday, Ah but where's it gonna go For all the words that go by, I've got a feeling inside That after it's all said and done Though we've come a long long way This old world's not much better than it was Oh it's just like the twenties, machine guns were plenty Everyday you'd get shot up all the whisky'd get bought up We'd be dancing the night through, just waiting until The joke's on you, ah then what do you do Model T's and Chevies just loaded with heavies Shining faces like morning roses, aglow with their noses Pressed on your window, just waiting to shine Your concrete shoes, to the piano roll blues We're flying space ships round the stars Getting faster by the hour Pretty soon we'll be on Mars Build another Ivory tower Thru all the praise that you borrow There's still hunger and sorrow and after it's all said and done Though we've come a long long way This old world's not much better than it was Oh it's just like the twenties, machine guns were plenty Everyday you'd get shot up all the whisky'd get bought up We'd be dancing the night through, just waiting until The joke's on you, ah then what do you do Oh Model T's and Chevies just loaded with heavies Shining faces like morning roses, aglow with their noses Pressed on your window, just waiting to shine Your concrete shoes, to the piano roll blues
